Im trying to extract the contents of a zip file but I want to extract it to my own directory. I'v tried -d from unzip but that just puts the contents of the zip into that directory.
But I want to extract the contents of the first (root) directory in the zip if there is only one directory in the root of the zip else just extract the files/folders in the root of the zip file (if there are more then one files).
e.g. test.zip contents the following dir structure:
test.zip
/app_v1/ <-The contents of this directory I want extracted to a dir of my choice
- folder-1
- folder-2
- folder-3
- folder-4
- file1
- file2

I'm trying to find out if the file is part of the .bin file but I need a way to see what's inside of it or extract it.
View 5 Replies View Relatedit is possible to extract a value from a file with awk, grep or something similar. I have a file like this...
ID1,NAME1,LAT1,LON1,VAR1=5.0,VAR2=7.0,VAR6=9.0,VAR15=0.0,VAR20=0.0
ID2,NAME2,LAT2,LON2,VAR1=6.0,VAR15=1.0,VAR20=5.0,VAR22=0.0

and I want to extract VAR15 from each line (which can be at any column unfortunately - columns separated with commas - csv file), or VAR15 together with LATn,LONn from each line. Is it possible to do it with awk, grep or something other in linux?

I tried to unzip it as well, and I tried a various slew of commands to no avail on my Debian box which has no GUI. I downloaded this on my local desktop ( Ubuntu ) and was able to easily extract w/ my mouse so I'm not exactly sure what the extractor did differently...

I have an ISO CD image file and want to extract it's contents to a folder. I know there are ways to mount the image and stuff, but it's complicated. I'm looking for a GUI tool to open up the contets and extract needed files. On windows I would use WinRar to do this. K3B only allows me to burn the stuff, Arch does not work with ISO files :(Is there a similar tool on Linux, preferably from KDE world?

I am interested in seeing the contents of one file labeled MANIFEST.MF without having to unzip the entire war file. does it make sense?

I'm not sure if this is possible or even where to start. I assume that this can be done with an sh script using tar or similar.I have several very large zip files that contain images for all of the products in my online store. Each image is named after its 13 digit SKU (for example, 9987788000012.jpg). In order to import products into my store, all images are placed into a media directory. Unfortunately, there are over 100,000 images.
So I would like to break the images into sub-folders based on file name. For example, when I extract store_images.zip (or tar or whatever), my extract script would create directories (if they don't already exist) based on the first three digits of each image name, placing each image into the appropriate bottom level directory. For example, "9987788000012.jpg" would be placed in the following directory "media/9/9/8", with media as the root and "8" as the directory that holds any images that start with "998". Perhaps two sub-folders would be less cumbersome.Assuming this requires a script, particularly since it involves scanning image names, creating folders, and saving images to specific directories, which language would serve my needs best? PHP? Has anyone had to do something similar?
when I delete a running executable or script, it usually (for me, pretty much always, but I don't know if it will work in every case) continues to run without any problems. So I've got two questions here: Where is the running executable/script being run from? RAM memory? If stored in RAM or where ever, is there a way to extract the executable/script from that location? If it makes any difference, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04.

It contains entries like this:
Quote:
There are many more of these entries in the file, over 500, all in this same format: each host has a "define host" followed by 18 directives contained in squiggly brackets.
If I want to know all the hosts that are in the hostgroup called SERVER_GRP, I suppose I would need to read every hostgroups line (8th directive in squiggly brackets) that contains SERVER_GRP and output the corresponding host_name line (1st directive in squiggly brackets) from that entry.
When ever I extract a file from a .tar or whatever, it isn't detected. I notice this mainly when i'm using xampp. I copy zip up all my files on one computer, load ubuntu on another, extract the files to the web folder (htdocs) and then I get nothing. However, when I manually create the files directly on my computer as opposed to extracting them, they appear.
Is there something I need to do in order to have these files appear? Is there some sort of file system refresh? Or am I being a complete idiot?
I made a bzip2 file by
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture1 > /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture2 >> /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
But now extracting pic.image by bzip2 -d /home/os/Desktop/pic.image returns
bzip2: Can't guess original name for pic.image -- using pic.image.out
And then it just creates one file pic.image.out.
How do I access picture1 and picture2 from pic.image?
Can't log into my XFCE desktop like I normaly do. all the sudden I get notified that my xsession lasted less then 10 secondsLooking at the error I can see this:
Unable to access file /home/username/.iceauthority: No such file or directory
Using failsafe I can start a terminal. From terminal I tried to start X
Code: sudo startx Result: Running on desplay:0
So I tried to run this;
Code: sudo startxfce4 And I get up a graphical desktop.
So this is not a critical situation as I easily can use this method to log on, but as there has been something causing this I would like to be able to resolve this nonetheless. Btw it is not the old chmod trick in play here, cause my .iceauthority file is gone alltogheter.

I have a remote Debian 5 machine on which I'm trying to extract a tar-file (Django 1.2.1, but that's unimportant). The first 1300 or so files extracts just fine (of about 2800 in total), after which errors liketar: Django-1.2.1/tests/urls.py: Cannot open: No such file or directoryshows up for the rest of the files, finally ending up with atar: Error exit delayed from previous errorsI use the commandtar xzvf Django-1.2.1.tar.gzI've also tried with sudo (but I'm extracting in my home directory, which I should obviusly have permissions to use without). I've tried gunzipping first (runs flawlessly) and then running tar xvf, but to no avail. I've fetched the file using wget:
